This means that it will be possible to generate a Darwin binary on any
platform (Windows, Linux, and MacOS of course), including CGo. Of
course, the resulting binaries can only run on MacOS itself.
The binary links against libSystem.dylib, which is a shared library. The
macos-minimal-sdk repository contains open source header files and
generated symbol stubs so we can generate a stub libSystem.dylib without
copying any closed source code.
This change implements a new "scheduler" for WebAssembly using binaryen's asyncify transform.
This is more reliable than the current "coroutines" transform, and works with non-Go code in the call stack.
runtime (js/wasm): handle scheduler nesting
If WASM calls into JS which calls back into WASM, it is possible for the scheduler to nest.
The event from the callback must be handled immediately, so the task cannot simply be deferred to the outer scheduler.
This creates a minimal scheduler loop which is used to handle such nesting.
This commit adds support for musl-libc and uses it by default on Linux.
The main benefit of it is that binaries are always statically linked
instead of depending on the host libc, even when using CGo.
Advantages:
- The resulting binaries are always statically linked.
- No need for any tools on the host OS, like a compiler, linker, or
libc in a release build of TinyGo.
- This also simplifies cross compilation as no cross compiler is
needed (it's all built into the TinyGo release build).
Disadvantages:
- Binary size increases by 5-6 kilobytes if -no-debug is used. Binary
size increases by a much larger margin when debugging symbols are
included (the default behavior) because musl is built with debugging
symbols enabled.
- Musl does things a bit differently than glibc, and some CGo code
might rely on the glibc behavior.
- The first build takes a bit longer because musl needs to be built.
As an additional bonus, time is now obtained from the system in a way
that fixes the Y2038 problem because musl has been a bit more agressive
in switching to 64-bit time_t.
This commit changes the number of wait states for the stm32f103 chip to
2 instead of 4. This gets it back in line with the datasheet, but it
also has the side effect of breaking I2C. Therefore, another (seemingly
unrelated) change is needed: the i2cTimeout constant must be increased
to a higher value to adjust to the lower flash wait states - presumably
because the lower number of wait states allows the chip to run code
faster.
This is necessary for better CGo support on bare metal. Existing
libraries expect to be able to include parts of libc and expect to be
able to link to those symbols.
Because with this all targets have a working libc, it is now possible to
add tests to check that a libc in fact works basically.
Not all parts of picolibc are included, such as the math or stdio parts.
These should be added later, when needed.
This commit also avoids the need for the custom memcpy/memset/memcmp
symbols that are sometimes emitted by LLVM. The C library will take care
of that.
This allows CGo code to call some libc functions. Additionally, by
putting memset/memmove/memcpy in an archive they're not included anymore
when not necessary, reducing code size for small programs.
We don't need the separate submodule: compiler-rt is already included in
the llvm-project repository.
This should hopefully make CI slightly faster too.
These files don't really belong in this repository. It's better to
generate them automatically from a source, like the one provided by the
avr-rust project. So a new command `make gen-device-avr` has been
provided for this purpose.
